Goodship "Jokel"
Ahoy! Set Sail, search for freedom

Come sail with me in my splendid vessel

Leave behind your mixed up baggage

Set sail, set sail on the goodship "Jokel"

"You're mad, you're mad, you cracked old madman"

They yell from the docks the crowd appears on

"Stay in your hell," I yell back at them

"For a better world and life does beckon"

As the southern wind catches my sail

I farewell the wretched and weigh anchor

To a place, a life and heaven's sanctor.
